- Go to D.C. Sniper and Nathan
Not for me, he could have been nicer to you! And the sniper got what he deserved! I don't know that I could have remained calm through that whole thing! Kudos for you for not being worried! sam

On the brighter side I wondered where your business was located. It didn’t sound in my area. However a new car wash’s almost finished nearby. It’s being built in a Victorian architectural style with a tower. I pass a car wash on the train. And, I see that you have a small snack shop. Of course that period was terrifying for the people in your region. Thank you for sharing the reactions of your customers. State inspection too, eh? You’re big guys! Ha. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

FSI ~ I had no idea you were so close to the murderous spree that occurred. You know what? I would have been one of those people --- looking over my shoulder and yes, running --------> to my car...in fact, I would not have been there at all --- 
--- I'm funny like that...but, so glad it didn't really affect your business that much. What a horrible situation, to have a 'sniper' --I can't imagine is all.
and as far as Nathan ~ You make me giggle with your understanding him before he even vents or speaks now...You're great! Write on, I so enjoy your blogs ~

We heard a lot about those shootings over here and felt very sorry for the people living in the area. Interesting to hear your first hand impressions.

Very interesting post. I remember being very concerned for my sister who lives in Baltimore area during the time that was going on. She had quite a drive everyday to work and back and I knew she definitely had to gas up quite often. She didn't, though, seem to be worried about herself.
